TOPIC - AGE OF THE EMPIRE

History

We have been learning about the growth of the Roman Empire and its lasting impact on the way we live, even today.

Archaeological Dig

We pretended we were archaeologists and excavated and area of sand to find some historical artefacts. We then used our knowledge of the Romans to attempt to identify who the artefacts would have belonged to.

Mosaics

We researched Roman mosaics and created our own designs.

Science

Our topic is Living Things and Their Habitats.

We went to the school garden to look for invertebrates.

RE

In RE, we have been learning about Buddhism and the famous Buddhist tale of The King's Elephant.
